Project description:Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) exert a fundamental activity in cheese production, as starter LAB in curd acidification, or non-starter LAB (NSLAB) during ripening, in particular in flavor formation. NSLAB originate from the farm and dairy environment, becoming natural contaminants of raw milk where they are present in very low concentrations. Afterward, throughout the different cheesemaking processes, they withstand chemical and physical stresses becoming dominant in ripened cheeses. However, despite a great body of knowledge is available in the literature about NSLAB effect on cheese ripening, the investigations regarding their presence and abundance in raw milk are still poor. With the aim to answer the initial question: "which and how many LAB are present in cow raw milk used for cheese production?," this review has been divided in two main parts. The first one gives an overview of LAB presence in the complex microbiota of raw milk through the meta-analysis of recent taxonomic studies. In the second part, we present a collection of data about LAB quantification in raw milk by culture-dependent analysis, retrieved through a systematic review. Essentially, the revision of data obtained by plate counts on selective agar media showed an average higher concentration of coccoid LAB than lactobacilli, which was found to be consistent with meta-taxonomic analysis. The advantages of the impedometric technique applied to the quantification of LAB in raw milk were also briefly discussed with a focus on the statistical significance of the obtainable data. Furthermore, this approach was also found to be more accurate in highlighting that microorganisms other than LAB are the major component of raw milk. Nevertheless, the variability of the results observed in the studies based on the same counting methodology, highlights that different sampling methods, as well as the "history" of milk before analysis, are variables of great importance that need to be considered in raw milk analysis.

Project description:Serra da Estrela protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese is manufactured with raw milk from Bordaleira and/or Churra Mondegueira da Serra da Estrela sheep breeds. Several socio-environmental shortcomings have reduced production capacity; hence, treatments that may contribute to its efficient transformation into cheese are welcome. High-pressure processing (HPP) milk pre-treatment may contribute to a cheese yield increment, yet optimization of processing conditions is warranted. An initial wide-scope screening experiment allowed for pinpointing pressure intensity, holding time under pressure and time after HPP as the most important factors influencing curd yield. Based on this, a more targeted screening experiment allowed for selecting the range of experimental conditions to be used for an experimental design study that revealed an HPP treatment at 121 MPa for 30 min as the optimum for milk processing to improve curd yield (>9%) and effectively maintain the beneficial cheese microbiota; the optimum was validated in a final experimental framework.

Project description:The enzymatic repertoire of starter cultures is important for cheese characteristics but is challenging to characterize due to the high protein and fat concentration, and the semi-solid state of the cheese matrix. This study aimed to generate a protocol to characterize the proteome of bacteria harvested from milk and cheese, to assess the proteome differences between Lactococcus cremoris grown in milk and laboratory medium, and to investigate the proteome adaptation during cheese production and ripening.

Project description:The intra sub-species diversity of six strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was investigated at the genomic level and in terms of phenotypic and transcriptomic profiles in UF-cheese model. Six strains were isolated from various sources, but all are exhibiting a dairy phenotype. Our results showed that, the six strains exhibited small phenotypic differences since similar behaviour in terms of growth was obtained during cheese ripening while only different acidification capability was detected. Even if all strains displayed high genomic similarities, sharing a high core genome of almost two thousands genes, the expression of this core genome directly in the cheese matrix revealed major strain-specific differences. This strains with the same dairy origin.

Project description:Conflicting claims exist regarding pathogen growth in raw milk. A small pilot study was designed to provide definitive data on trends for pathogen growth and decline in raw bovine milk hygienically produced for direct human consumption. An independent laboratory conducted the study, monitoring growth and decline of pathogens inoculated into raw milk. Raw milk samples were inoculated with foodborne pathogens (Campylobacter, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, or Salmonella) at lower (<162 colony forming units (CFU) per mL) and higher levels (<8,300 CFU/mL). Samples were stored at 4.4°C and quantified over time after inoculation (days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 14) by standard culture-based methods. Statistical analysis of trends using the Mann-Kendall Trend Test and Analysis of Variance were conducted for 48 time series observations. Evidence of pathogen growth was documented for L. monocytogenes in 8 of 12 replicates (P = 0.001 to P = 0.028). Analysis of variance confirmed significant increases for L. monocytogenes at both initial levels in week 2. No evidence of growth was documented over 14 days for the three pathogens predominantly associated with raw milk outbreaks in the US (Campylobacter, E. coli O157:H7, and Salmonella). Further research is needed to characterize parameters for pathogen growth and decline to support re-assessment of risks that were based on incorrect assumptions about interactions of pathogens with the raw milk microbiota.

Project description:RNA-seq was used in combination with various analytical chemistry approaches to identify the chemical and genetic basis of pigment production of the bacterium Glutamicibacter arilaitensis when growing on cheese. This bacterium commonly found in cheese rinds where it co-occurs with Penicillium species and other molds. Pinkish-red pigments are produced by the bacterium in response to growth with Penicillium. Both chemical analyses and RNA-seq point to coproporphyrin III as the major metabolite leading to pigment formation.

Project description:Aside from their amino acid content, dairy proteins are valuable for their ability to carry encrypted bioactive peptides whose activities are latent until released by digestive enzymes or endogenous enzymes within the food. Peptides can possess a wide variety of functionalities, such as antibacterial, antihypertensive, and antioxidative properties, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies. This phenomenon raises the question as to what impact various traditional cheese-making processes have on the formation of bioactive peptides in the resulting products. In this study, we have profiled the naturally-occurring peptides in two hard and two soft traditional cheeses and have identified their known bioactive sequences. While past studies have typically identified fewer than 100 peptide sequences in a single cheese, we have used modern instrumentation to identify between 2900 and 4700 sequences per cheese, an increase by a factor of about 50. We demonstrated substantial variations in proteolysis and peptide formation between the interior and rind of each cheese, which we ascribed to the differences in microbial composition between these regions. We identified a total of 111 bioactive sequences among the four cheeses, with the greatest number of sequences, 89, originating from Mimolette. The most common bioactivities identified were antimicrobial and inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme. This work revealed that cheese proteolysis and the resulting peptidomes are more complex than originally thought in terms of the number of peptides released, variation in peptidome across sites within a single cheese, and variation in bioactive peptides among cheese-making techniques.

Project description:In cheese production, microorganisms are usually added at the beginning of the process as primary starters to drive curd acidification, while secondary microorganisms, with other pro-technological features important for cheese ripening, are added as selected cultures. This research aimed to investigate the possibilities of influencing and selecting the raw milk microbiota using artisanal traditional methods, providing a simple method to produce a natural supplementary culture. We investigated the production of an enriched raw milk whey culture (eRWC), a natural adjunct microbial culture produced from mixing an enriched raw milk (eRM) with a natural whey culture (NWC). The raw milk was enriched by spontaneous fermentation for 21 d at 10°C. Three milk enrichment protocols were tested: heat treatment before incubation, heat treatment plus salt addition, and no treatment. The eRMs were then co-fermented with NWC (ratio of 1:10) at 38°C for 6 h (young eRWC) and 22 h (old eRWC). Microbial diversity during cultures' preparation was evaluated through the determination of colony forming units on selective growth media, and next-generation sequencing (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing). The enrichment step increased the streptococci and lactobacilli but reduced microbial richness and diversity of the eRMs. Although the lactic acid bacteria viable count was not significantly different between the eRWCs, they harbored higher microbial richness and diversity than NWC. Natural adjunct cultures were then tested in cheese making trials, following the microbial development, and assessing the chemical quality of the 120 d ripened cheeses. The use of eRWCs slowed the curd acidification in the first hours of cheese making but the pH 24 h after production settled to equal values for all the cheeses. Although the use of diverse eRWCs contributed to having a richer and more diverse microbiota in the early stages of cheese making, their effect decreased over time during ripening, showing an inferior effect to the raw milk microbiota. Even if more research is needed, the optimization of such a tool could be an alternative to the practice of isolating, geno-pheno-typing, and formulating mixed-defined-strain adjunct cultures that require knowledge and facilities not always available for artisanal cheese makers.
